Thriving in Multiple Industries – A Career Built on Adaptability
Some people specialize early. They choose a career path and stick to it.
I did the opposite.
My career hasn’t followed a linear path—it’s been an evolving journey across industries, roles, and skill sets. But if you look closer, you’ll see a common thread: I don’t just take jobs—I immerse myself in them. I don’t just learn skills—I apply them in ways that push me forward.
Hospitality: The Foundation of Service & Leadership
One of my first jobs in the UK was in hospitality. I worked at Social Brew as a manager, handling customer service, operations, inventory, and even stepping into kitchen duties when needed. I learned how to manage people, handle pressure, and keep things running smoothly even on the busiest days.
From there, I moved to Mason & Rye, a specialty café inside Fenwick, where I worked as a barista and server. Here, I learned precision, efficiency, and the subtle art of customer interaction. It wasn’t just about serving coffee; it was about understanding people—what they liked, what they didn’t say out loud, and how to create an experience that made them come back.
Administrative Roles: Learning Structure & Coordination
Alongside hospitality, I stepped into administrative roles, starting as a receptionist at Cardinal Gracious Hospital during COVID-19. It was a fast-paced, high-pressure job, where I had to manage patient data, coordinate communication, and ensure everything ran smoothly in a critical healthcare setting.
Later, I took on the role of Switchboard Operator at Kingston Hospital, where I handled communications, workflow management, and crisis coordination. These roles taught me the power of organization, clear communication, and decision-making under pressure—skills that would become essential in every future role.
Event Planning & Social Media: The Creative Strategy Side
At M&R Homes, I worked on workflow management, site visits, and communication, but more than that, I took on creative responsibilities—social media management and content strategy.
My experience in digital content and storytelling helped me shape online engagement strategies, using visuals and narratives to connect with audiences. This was where my creative instincts met structured execution.
What These Experiences Have Taught Me
Each of these industries—hospitality, administration, events, and social media—gave me a unique skill set. Together, they shaped me into someone who can adapt, strategize, and execute across different environments.
I don’t see my diverse career history as a lack of direction. I see it as proof that I can thrive anywhere.
